2002-2006 Cr-v Front and Rear Shocks Replacement Diy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 фев 2023
- hi all, in this video, I share how to diy and replace your shocks for the front and rear. I would say the job was a simple job and shouldn't take more than 2 hours in all. I originally thought the front shocks were more complex that the rear but after doing them, I change my mind and say the rear were a little bit more difficult but overall a very simple job. Don't forget to get an alignment after.

I was afraid to do it by myself but after watching your valuable video, I decided to do it and it went fine of course with the help of two floor jacks 👍😁👍
I’m glad this video was able to help u out. Don’t forget to get an alignment afterwards also.
What brand of strut you recommend on the 2004
One thing you should mention...is keeping the front spindle from dropping too much or the CV shaft will pull out of the transaxle. Mine did and it took me longer to get the splines back in than the actual strut swap...LOL! Most people pull the axle nut. On the second one I used a small web strap hooked to the brake caliper side and the body brace by the fuse block to support it. Good job man.
For safety: Preferably jack up a car on concrete without any slope, in other words horizontal. Thanks for posting, good info.
Excellent video i have the same crv with rear bottomed out. Ill be doing this asap. Thank you. Well done
Cool video man! I stumbled upon your channel completely by accident! I had to perform the same exact thing on my CR-V back then, but I got too lazy and never did it, too bad you didn’t make this guide back then!
GOD DAMN are you Cali guys lucky!!!!!! That 2nd gen is SOOOOO clean
Haha thanks
Right on! Just what I needed to know thx!
I did the rears and had to unbolt the control arm, loosen brake line brackets. Driver side had to make sure not to damage the vent canister. The passenger side was another story. I had to cut & grind off the lower bolt. Then I purchased a 14mm x 77 bolt at Tractor Supply to replace the broken lower bolt. but it was worth it to replace the old leaking & rusted struts.
just did the rear struts on my 06 crv i can tell you those strut bolts won´t come out this easy i struggled a lot
Gotta say I'm a tad jealous. Your car is so clean on the underside! Where at in California are you guys? We live out in the boonies so of course that means dirt roads. I'm going to be changing all four of my struts this coming weekend. Thank you for this video.
Haha I’m in Sacramento, very little dirt road and snow. Hahah. But yeah, stay away from that rust
i want to replace the fronts only. worried the fronts will never level out with the older rears. People were saying on amazon that these are not the correct height. Sucks something so simple has to be so complicated with such crappy parts.
Hey buddy we just emailed you about a product review,hopefully could hear from you soon 🤙🏻
With the video paused at 8:17 - 8:20 to the lower left area of the engine bay is that open air space missing a plastic shroud 🤔
I don’t know honestly. Since I gotten the car, it has always been like that so I just assume it didn’t come with anything. But I could be wrong.
Can you let me know where the front center jack point is on the car? I wanna put the jack stands on the sides, but I’m unsure where I can jack up on the middle
There should be a subframe brace underneath the car towards like the back of where the engine sits. If u are looking at this angle from the front of the car, u should see a brace that dips almost like a wide “u” shape. That’s usually where I jack it from.
@@projectsbyj25 thanks! I’ll take a look soon!
Are the Monroe quick struts still working for you? I just ordered them from Rockauto and I plan on doing them tonight.
@@calebinorio100 so far so good still. Just got back from a 20hour round trip drive going through very curvy roads and they worked as they should. They’re somewhat stiff compare to oem shocks but they work for me
@@projectsbyj25suhwoo thank you God bless!
After one year how does it feel compared to oem? Still in good shape?
I think nothing will be as good as oem but these ones are still fine. They’re stiffer than oem but so far so good.
what if we add a strut to make it two instead of one?
What do you mean?
Can you provide a link from where you got the struts? Thanks
I got these off eBay. Same brand you can get from your local auto part store but I believe it cost more that way. But just type in monroe and your year crv and it should pop up.
I got mine from rockauto...ordered Tuesday at 9pm...they were on my door at 1pm Thursday...
Can you add lowering spring coils?
There are aftermarket lowering springs out there but if anything, I want to add a little more height to the car instead of lowering it.
Where to buy these suspension?
I got these off amazon.
What kinda fog lights do you have installed
They’re just the eBay generic 4inch led spot lights that I overlay with yellow tint.
How much did the replacement struts cost?
I think for the whole set it was like $450 or somewhere close to that amount
Ps...let me know how...or IF you ever pulled your rear rotors...and how you got them loose...mine are seized on, and most mechanics say you have to split them with an angle grinder and buy new ones.
I have swap the rear rotors before. Luckily mine weren’t seized so a little tap from a rubber mallet made it come off. Try spray it with a lot of penetrating fluid and see if that helps.
Hello, thank you for the video, where to find the shock absorbers? compatible with a 2001 147ch crv? THANKS
I usually get majority of my parts from eBay, u can try there, sometimes there’s cheap oem parts getting sold on there also.
@@projectsbyj25 ok thank you for your feedback! Have a good day
Hows rhe ride now? (In comparison with before)
Not very noticeable difference. My before shocks were still in good shape. Just my right rear was squeaking so I ended up just replacing them all. The ride is a bit stiff but that’s normal for aftermarket compare to oem parts. Once I get new tires and bigger size, it should make for a more comfy ride. But for now it’s decent. No crazy driving or off roading, just normal driving so it’s good for it.
@@projectsbyj25 mine has a very very bumpy ride. I feel every bump. So I'm changing all 4. Car has about 190k miles and I doubt they've ever been changed. I heard about the bigger tires giving the crvs a better ride but haven't met anyone who has done it. Interesting
@@willc32917 yeah, might be time to change yours. My brother has the 1st gen crv and he went bigger tires and it rode so much smoother. Stock suspension too. So im hoping once I go bigger tires, it should be a smoother ride.
@@projectsbyj25 sounds good
what kind rim are those?
Fronts are actually easier than the rear.
